2:08 am
is now preparing to send hundreds of its own police across the world to help locals handle security john glaser from antiwar dot com believes the plan is more about control and enrichment than regional stability but normally is this being wasted on a population that doesn't want to intervening but it's also going to what has happened already is that we've propped up this security apparatus in iraq which is has no respect for human rights at all the obama administration had been pressing the maliki government to try and maintain some contingency force there that could have been anywhere from ten thousand to thirty thousand and when the iraqis said no . washington wasn't happy about it they're going to try and keep it as big as possible and as simple when she was possible because otherwise iraq gets outside of our sphere of influence and that is the last thing that washington wants we spend currently. about as much as the rest of the world combined on our military

six times more than china the next so so much of what we do is waste for but it puts money in the pockets of really rich military industrial complex. organizations and corporations. another drain for the american taxpayer is the ongoing conflict in afghanistan their infrastructure restoration is falling far behind schedule and costing much more than originally estimated analysts jason debt's attributes this to corrupt authorities and poor planning of how funds are spent in afghanistan we've got the same problems we have in iraq but we also have the problems of government corruption being much worse throwing money at it with very little idea where it's going to go or if those programs are going to be successful is is just a recipe for that money being stolen or wasted or just disappearing
2:10 am
a lot of these programs that just sort of get added ad hoc to say the occupation in iraq or the occupation in afghanistan the administration will come up with something that they think is the reason why the war is going so well and they'll throw some money at that and very rarely do they ever consider if that program is even needed or wanted so hundreds of millions of dollars go wasted. plenty more stories are still ahead for you later this hour including investigating a horrific discovery we delve deeper into the mystery on hundreds of fetuses recently found and barrels of russian wallets and we ask if they are linked to illegal human experiments backdoor abortions or just normal. day in a row a protest in california with an investigation into police after a spate of shootings by officers and which two people died.

2:18 am
a state institution as police have determined they were found a week ago in barrels and some of them are up to twenty six weeks old which makes it a criminal case artesian thomas who has been following the shocking discovery explains . police have tracked down the car that they say was responsible for dumping these fetuses in the woods a fetus is supposed to be incinerated because they are classified as class b. bio medical waste as all human tissue is and as such they should be incinerated but in this case because they were wet and soaked in from outside the company decided well it would just be too difficult in this case and so they decided to dump it in the woods these fetuses were all between twenty two and twenty six weeks which is a late term fetus and in russia it's illegal to have an abortion past this stage only in the case of a medical emergency so it doesn't answer the question as why all of these fetuses two hundred forty eight of them were passed this point early on in the
